"The plumbing backs up, the toilets overflow, the electricity goes off," she said.

The building itself is almost a century old. It was a laundry company, converted to government use in 1935 as part of Franklin Delano Roosevelt's New Deal of public works projects to battle the Great Depression. It's why Younger and PVA Tony Lindauer weren't surprised when the $600,000 earmarked for heating, cooling and ventilation was cut from Mayor Greg Fischer's current budget.

Younger and Lindauer would prefer that all of the building's tenants meet to determine how they might acquire new offices somewhere else. But they maintain that the County Clerk and County Sheriff, as fee offices, are better positioned financially to effect repairs or move.

"Why should you care?" Younger repeated WAVE 3's question. "You should care that your property is valued at what it's supposed to be valued at."
